Nellikka is available in plenty in my part of the world during this time of year, and I try to incorporate it in our diet a few times a week.
Here is a chutney that I made using nellikka.
What you need:
Large nellikka (gooseberry) - 4 large, deseeded and roughly chopped
Red chilli - 3
Salt - to taste
Onion - 1 large, peeled and chopped into large pieces
Curry leaves - a few
Heat a tsp of oil. Add the red chilli, curry leaves and onion. Fry until the raw smell of the onions goes away. Lower the heat, add nellikka to the kadai and fry for a few minutes. Let it cool. Add salt and grind to a coarse paste.
This goes really well with idli/dosa.

wow...Amla chutney..looks too good..! My mum used to make this..
Sounds delicious. I can almost smell the tanginess of gooseberries :)
I've never come across chutney, well, maybe only on the blogs - have always seen pickle and it's a great favourite of mine!
Amla is indeed a powerhouse of nutrients. Shall try your style of chutney. Amla could be grated and dried in the sun with some turmeric. Once totally dried it changes its colour and this can be stored for quite some time. You can simply have this after food as a digestive.
